The Living Past: the origins and development of the historic landscape of the Blackdown Hills - Phase 1: archive report

Abstract

This report represents the archive for The Living Past: the origins and development of the historic landscape of the Blackdown Hills Project, which covered the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the borders of Devon and Somerset (Figures 1-4).It is intended to act as a record of the work carried out, rather than being a free-standing report, and as such is designed to complement the Summary Report. It contains a detailed description of the sources and methodologies used, an indepth commentary on each of the historic landscape character types, and a discussion of the other pieces of analysis carried out.
